Your Host:

Your host has visited over 330 bed & breakfasts in North America, many before opening his top-rated B&B in 1985.

In advance, Phil will arrange for balloon or aircraft flights, historians, limo service, fishing/battlefield guides, horse/carriage rides, theater tickets and many special events. It's otherwise quiet here.
